Rule of Taxation.

To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
The statute law forty years ego in some
respects was, think, preferable as to fair
ness than now as generally construed.
Then it was expected that every dollar not
exempt by law was to go into the taxable
list, real estate at its actual value. Taking
location and income into consideration, and
assessors and boards of relief were expected
to ferret out all money att interest, even ever
so small an amount, and Indebtedness trans
ferable added and deducted. Manufactures
and other mercantile and trading business
was assessed in proportion to its magnitude.
In fact, everyone to pay fair proportion
according to his means and business done.
But now, while the law requires everybody
to swear to his or her list, yet we find but
little money put in comparatively to what we
know should be, and when it is known that
this or that man does not put in his money
and evades paying his due portion of taxes,
others try their hand in evasion. In the
olden times honor meant something, but now
cunning and craftiness is the rule with many.

AN ATTRACTIVE OFFER.


1t is generally conceded, we believe, that
the cities and towns of this State which
went into the railroad business some years
ago didn't know just what they were doing.
Magnificent visions of coming profits and
grand promises of future upbui1ding rather
deluded the usually sharp Connecticut Yam
kee, and he voted with fervcr to tax himself
and others for the railroad It is needless to
say that these visions have not materialized
to any great extent, and the promises have
not fully come to pass. In fact, most of
those cities and towns which burdened them
selves with debt to help forward the great
improvement are still burdened, and, except
as the investment has done something to
help the growth of the State, it is now seen
that it was mistake.
New Haven went into the railroad busi-
ness pretty heavily, and has often seen the
time since when she would like to get out.
Few of our eity's affairs have been more trou-
blesome than the city's railroad business and
few less satisfactory. And for a long time
the feeling has been growing that the sooner
something was done to end the city's connec-
ton with the management and the losses of
railroads the better.
Last year a plan to ''cIose out' the city;s
interest in the Derby railroad was offered.
1t struck many as not good one and it fell
through, very properly, as we thought then
and think now. But, as will be seen by ref
erence to our local columns, a plan is now
put before the public which merits serious
attention. In substance it is this: The
Housatonic Valley railroad company offers
to pay the city of New Haven for its stock in
the Derby railroad company, and for its
claim as creditor against that company, the
sum of $175, 900 in cash. 1t will also, as part
of this transaction, give satisfactory guar
anty that in May, 1888, when the first mort
gage bonds of the Derby railroad company
become due, it will pay the $500, 900 of first
mortgage bonds and raise that mortgage and
thus allow the city's guaranty mortgage,
which is now second, to become first mort
gage upon all the present or. future property
of the road. 1t will also guarantee to make
the proposed extension and to run She road
in the interest of New Haven.
Those who make this offer have done we'll
in putting it before the people now so that
full and free discussion can be had. 1t is by
far the best offer that has been made and
will, We believe, strike most of the taxpayers
of New Haven as good one to accept. The
large sum of Ethard cash. which is offered is
attractive, and the guarantees are valu-
able and as ''good as gold" The plan will
probably meet popular approval. The peo-
pie of New Haven are sick of the railroad
business and will be glad to sell out.
One of the strong commentators of this
plan is the fact that many of those who per-
sistently and effectually fought the plan pro-
posed last year are heartily in favor of this
one. 1t is substantial, and gives the city
more than it could get in any other way now
visible.

| to be no great political emergency demanding
it. A political campaign should be run by
some one central Organization That is W hat
the State Central committee is for. If another
organization should be put in the field, it
would surely antagonize this committee, and
would work great injury. We already have
representative from each county on the
State committee, and it seems to me that
that is quite sufficient. Then again, an or
ganization formed after the plan of the
Union League club would be very expensive
and beyond the reach of the average Repub-
lican. The best thing for the Republicans to
do is to form local clubs all over the State.
The chairman of the State committee should
have an eye to the formation of these clubs,
and the secretary should go about the State
stirring up the towns that needit, and aiding
in the formation of clubs.
A resume of the report of the English roy
al commission recently appointed to inquire
into the depression of trade and industry
shows that while trade has increased in vol
ume it has decreased in value and in the
profits realized. The conclusions of the COM
missioners' Investigations that the chief
features of the commercial situation are: A
very serious falling off in the exchangeable
value of the produce of the soil; an increase
of production Of nearly all other classes of
commodities; tendency in the supply of
commodities to outrun the demand; . conse-
quent diminution in the profits obtainable by
production, and similar diminution in the
rate of interest on invested capital. The
opinion is expressed that the chief cause for
these results is the protective policy of for
eign countries, which secures high prices for
the foreign producers at home and SO assists
them to indulge in excessive competition
abroad. But, as the evidence shows, this
has not benefited the countries which have
pursued that policy. Attention is called to
some evidence the tendency of which is to
prove that in certain classes of products the
reputation of British workmanship stands
comparatively less high than it did.

An ingenious device for cancsling postage
stamps has been perfected by a New York
concern. 1t is designed to prevent frauds on
the government both by postmasters of the
fourth class, whose remuneration depends
upon the business of their offices, and by
dishonest persons, who restore Cancelled
stamps and use them a second time. The
government loses annually large sums from
both causes.

Darien, Conn, was severely ill. The
doctors said he was in Consumption,
and that they could do nothing for him,
but advised him, as a last resort, to try
Ayers Cherry Pectoral After taking
this medicine, two or three months, he
was pronounced well man. His health
remains good to the present day.
j. S. Bradley, Maiden, Mass, writes:
"Three winters ago I took a severe cold,
which rapidly developed into Bronchitis
and Consumption. I was SO weak that
could not sit up, was much emaciated,
and coughed necessarily. I consulted
several doctors, but they were power
less, and all agreed that 1 was in Con-
sumption. At last, friend brought me
bottle of Ayers Cherry Pectoral.
From the first dose, I found relief.

to the general mode OF giving orders for

necessary to call out the orders in the rush

what heard yesterday I have arranged a
bill of fare in such way that the waiter and
carver may shout at each other without ex-
posing the diners choice of viands. Every
article of food or drink the bill is num-
bered. The soups, for instance, are num-
bered from one to twelve. Consomme is
number one. If the customer chooses that
soup the we'll trained waiter will call out
'one,' and the server will repeat 'one,' and
eventually the diner will receive his consom-

profitable ones to the caterer am only
